DOW MTFs WRB the last session close ect WRB and fibs, I have drawn fibs to illustrate, usually I see the harmony without physically drawing the fibs. years of chart exposure{image} Few weeks ago I have added MACD to DOW charts, on short TF and for scalping they are very useful I also closely monitor VIX USD index and Bitcoin while trading DOW {image} went both ways shorts aimed at fib levels, will consider longs above 750 levels, with caution if at all
Done for the day, under 30 trades during the US session, no my usual larger number of trades, but I have not got a single looser today, possibly I have been too cautious. Have actively traded over 3 hours, and I am loosing focus, feeling more interested in keeping the profits versus taking more risk for the day.
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!

It is a good idea for the market to come to the area that trades are more likely to become profitable.
For the DOW it often is in the area outside the last session close
Flat longs now, 750 quarter still a possible target.

clear channels of adversely correlated charts both set to M30
observe PA on the DOW in relation to the session closes, PA before US open, divergencies
At times one needs to wait for the market with all its activities to come close to the scenario allowing to take risks, risks are always part of trading

at the start of US session there was a gap, which has been filled below that last session close was R blue doted line, initial shorts closed
Reestablished shorts at 750 quarter and below target D pivot and ADR L, once ADR has been reached I stopped trading

It is profitable to pay attention to different levels and gain practical understanding as to when and which levels have chance to prove significant.
As the market runs and is busy one never knows for sure, but by printing and observing these levels one eventually on gains experience to utilise them, that is so unless one is bent not to learn and enjoys losses and complaining about them, while gaining a lot of sympathy and understanding from others.

No time to post charts of the DOW, the gap is being printed, nothing new - that same strategy
Shorting scenario is developing, starting to build a short position on DOW, PT round 48000, we shall see, nothing is certain 48680 at the moment
48750 if it gets there will be a sweet spot to enter a larger position depending on PA and market structure on lower TFs.

looks like a down day on DOW, nothing goes in straight lane, patience is required, sell on PB on lower TF like M5, M15 and M30
I am done with posting for a while, just posted few things to note the market created opportunities.

FIB extension or Alternative Price Projection (APP), (Robert Miner preferred term) which I find less confusing

Done for a while. It has been interesting day, with good shorting opportunities on DOW and Gold.

DOW is getting there, the round big number is close.

Remember the Triple Witching Friday is near.
